ONE of the most brutal prize fights
that has ever disgraced this country was
fought in the Western part of this State
on Sunday last. The officials of that
section will fail sadly in their duty if
they do not arrest and have convicted
the brutes who violated the laws of God
and man in that fight.

does the kind of work that Mr.. GOULD

Independent journalism is commend

The GLOBE would be slow to adopt
the popular opinion concerning the
Worlds apostacy. 1t is utterly impos-
sible to see how such a great newspa-
per could fall from the lofty heights of
pure and independent journalism down
to the position of performing mental
service for Americas monopoly king.
But the angels fell, and there IS more
human weakness in men than in angels.
And what is more, the GLOBE fails to
comprehend how a newspaper actuated
by pure motives could consistently aid
in the overthrow of party in which
ssas now constituted there is no room
for corruption and fraud"

MIR. HOWARD's LETTER.

The GLOBE readers will be enter
tanned this morning by reading Mr..
HowARD's dramatic description of how
the news of the supreme court decision
was received in Chicago yesterday, and
of the effect it had upon the
condemned anarchists. Not the
least interesting portion of Mr..
HowARD's special correspondence
in tO-day's GLOBE is his personal remi-
niScences of the anarchists trial and his
description of scenes connected with
the famous Haymarket riot. 1t is evil
dent that the Chicago authorities do not
propose to be caught mapping in the
event that the sOeialistic ele-
ment cOntemplates violence on
the occasion of the hanging.
The execution will be a quiet and Or
derby affair, without any sensational
features, unless the outside anarchists
attempt a rescue of the condemned
men. 1t is hardly probable that any
such attempt will be made. AT the
same time the Chicago authorities have
acted wisely in taking all precautionary
measures against it.

RED RIVER VALLEY ROAD.
A Core spOndent Gives 1t Roast,
and Says it Never Was the In
tentiOn to Build 1t.

To the Editor of the Globe.
have heretofore found you willing
to grant a hearing to both sides of this
brief letter during the past summer in
reference to this railroad fraud, and if
you think to refer to my predictions
you will discover that my re-
marks have since been justified.
1t has never been to Mr.. Norquay's po-
litical interests to build that railroad.
The Pioneer Press, with its usual igno-
rance in regard to the British and Do
minion questions, has been continually
egging on the people of Winnipeg to
trespasS on the charter held by the Can
adam Pacific railroad, while the said
paper is very reticent of urging
the st. Paul citizens to tear up
your public streets and build
horse car line contrary to the pro-
visions of the charter held by MI. Lowry,
of Minneapolis. The attempted break
ing of the charter held by the Canadian
Pacific railway has, from the first, been
engineered by the people of Winnipeg
only-not by the public of the Province
of Manitoba. The Dominion has already
two railroad cOnnections.wlth Minnesota
and Dakota, via Winnipeg, by q will
say the most patriotic and enterprising
corporation in this state, viz: "rhe st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba" railroad,
and every attempt of the Pioneer Press
to urge on that shaky concern, the
Northern Pacific, to force an unneces-
sary passage directly between the two
branches of the Manitoba, is to injure
the franchise granted to Mr.. Hill, the
greatest railroad benefactOr of this
state. The Manitoba within the
next four years will have at
least five more connections with
the Canadian Pacific railway all along
the western international boundary.
All the provincial or city credit Winni-
peg has heretofore obtained has arisen
through the building up of their town
and country by Canadian Pacific money.
Winnipeg now, instead of progressing,
is retrograding, and business men are
talking gloomily. The agitation has cut
both ways, but it will end by the Cana
dian Pacific railway buying out the stub
road, as far as built, and yet it would be
a road almost useless to themselves.

THEY MUST HANG.

The dec iSiOn rendered yesterday by
the supreme court of the United States
seals the doom of the condemned anar-
chists. The last judicial expedient has
been exhausted, and there.is no ray of
hope for the condemned men except in
the pard0ning power of the governor of
Illinois. After such a thorough Judi
cial investigation of the law points in
yolyed in the case it is hardly possible
that Gov. OGLESBY will now feel juSti-
fed in inteTpOsing the power the cOnsti-
tuition has invested him with to defeat
the law of its victims. 1t is not pleas
ant thing to see human life taken,
even though it be done under the forms
of law, and though we are conscious
that the criminal merits his punishment.
But, however disagreeable the perform
ance, there is not a law abid-
ing American citizen who doubts
the necessity for hanging the
Chicago anarchists nor questions the
justice of it. They are not to be hung
for the exercise of the right of free
speech and the right to assemble for
peaceable purposes, as they claim. Their
crime was i'll abusing the right of free
speech aud of assembling together for
the purpose of melting riot and blood
shed. The frightful loss of life which
followed in the wake of the Haymarket
gathering was the direct result of the
action of the seven condemned men on
that occasion. Everybody knew that
they were morally guilty of the murder
Of the policemen on that bloody night at
the Haymarket, and now the highest
judicial tribunal Oh earth decides that
they are legally guilty. Henceforth
there can be no division of opinion as
to the righteousness of hanging the an
archiSts.
1t is not to be expected that their inn
mediate sympathizers will approve the
judgment of the courts. ''Thief ne'er
felt the halter draw with good opioion
of the law" Yesterdays decision is
the death warrant of anarchism in this
country. There will be muttering
threats, and there will be manifest
reStlessnesS for little while among the
anarchists. But that will be all. There
will be no more bomb throwing in this
country. The day that the seven Chi
cago anarchists are swung up by the
neck will be the final judgment day for
the violent type of socialism on the
American continent.

INDEMNITY LANDS.
The Land Officers, Settlers and
the Railroads.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The local officers of the United States
land office at Ashland, Wis, have in
formed the honorable commissioner of
the general land Office that there is
conspiracy by wOuld-be settlers on with
drawn lands on the Bayfield, branch of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis g.
Omaha railroad (Which lands have
lately been restored to settlement by
order of the interior department., to de-
fraud the government out of part of the
public domain. The United States Off
GERS at Ashland represent to the honor
able commissioner that the attempt of
would-be settlers has its whole origin in
frauds and that the would-be settlers
are backed by capitalists from Michi
gan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
writer of this item has acted as surveyor
for the would-be settlers on the lands in
question, and is willing to make oath
that the only capital possessed by either
him or them was their muscle and
faith perhaps misplaced) in the per
petuity of democratic principles and
a hope that the individual would get
his rights as well as the corporations.
1t seems in rather bad taste Ito put it in
its mildtest form that United States of
ficers should show the would-be settler
up as criminal because he would try
to acquire title to very small share of
the peoples inheritance, while they
have not a word to say in regard to the
wholesale depredatiOns that have been
going on and are still going on on lands
lately restored to Settlement-a fact of
which said United States officials are
well aware; nor have they word in
condemnation in their report to the hon
orable commissioner, against the pine
land thieves who are wasting and reck-
lessly destroying millions of valuable
timber on the public domain every year;
nor do they report to the general Office
that the men who back these thieves are
prominent Republican politicians: and
it would seem to the unsOphisticated
average citizen that the United States
land Office at Ashland, though in the
possession of so-called Democrats. is
Still run on old corporation Republican
principles. WILLIAM YOUNG,

nounced the pardon of the young man
Pat and the hustle.

Norwich Bulletin.
Some Norwich boys found woman's
hustle last week, and being inspired by
some lower power put it in a coal car
rier's basket in place of the canvas
shoulder pad he had been accustomed to
use. When the coal carrier went out
the next morning with his first load of
coal his eye fell upon the strange thing
for which he had no name.
,!""Phat is this. Moike?' he said to the
driver, and although both of them were
family men they were sOrely puzzled.
Mike replied:
| eSure, dunno. never seed the likes
of it BEFORE"
Not finding his shoulder protector the
coal carrier saw in it novel substitute
for it, and he said:
s"sBegOrra, MOike, / have it! This is a
patent shoulder piece the boss has got
me!'' and he put the old hustle on his
shoulder, and finding that it was fair
fit, tied the string around his neck. He
worked with the new shoulder protector
all day, to the amusement of all who re-
cognized the hustle in such high use.
Pat noticed that the new protector made
him source of considerable curiosity,
.but he did not learn the truth until he
showed it to the boss in the evening,
when, thanking him for the gift, he
said:
1.-THE inventor of this meant well. but
he never carried coal. These wire cords
are that narrer that they cut like a
knife; but, begorra, the thort is a good
one, and can make one ov it that'll
worruk"
His employer informed him that he
had been subjected to practical joke;
that his shoulder protector was hustle
that had seen its day and been laid
away.
Mike, the driver, smiled and said:
''It's never seen a greater day than this.
Twenty tons Ov coal have been on to it.
Eli bet a letter man niver wore one
than Pat Donegan."

She Won't Be Scared.

San Francisco Reporter.
A woman will growl about anything
in a theater except one thing. She'll
complain about the seats; she'll have
something to say about the restless
man in front of her, the talkative people
behind her; the narrowneSS of the rows,
the badness of the gas, but she never
says word about the woman's tall hat
in front of her. She'll bob serenely up
and down and right and left, and crane
over and under to see the stage, but she
will not object. Why? Because she's
very likely got one on herself. That
should not always prevent her from
speaking out, because we very often
complain of the very thing in others
we do ourselves. | may say we always
do. But there's something sacred about
the fashion OF woman. The fashion
covers multitude of sins against taste.
1t does not matter how ugly dress may
be on woman; if she's in the fashion
she's all right.
You can not scare woman out of a
high hat. Ridicule, supplication, insin-
uation, all have failed. The papers
have tried it all sorts of ways. They
have even called women ugly who wear
them. They don't mind. It's no use
don't believe they are. You can't get
them to believe it. They sometimes
say they are themselves. They don't
believe it. You cannot knock out of
woman the consciousness that she is at
tractiye. They don't believe that what
is fashionable is unbecoming. 1t is i'm
possible.
The high hat has knocked the life out
of the matinee, though. That's where
the women get the full benefit of its in
convenience. And if women could go
to the theater at night alone the theat-
rical business would go to pieces, for
you gong to do about it? It's the thing
about which a woman will not be dicta-
ted to by man.

Hydrophobia in Russia.

Six of the fifteen Caucasians bit by a
mad she wolf, have succumbed to the
disease of hydrophobia, says an Odessa
dispatch to the London News. The
last and sixth case among this particular
party was that of a girl aged twelve
years. She had shown, for some days
previous to her death, symptoms of an
approaching attack, but on the eve of
her death she appeared to have thrown
them off. The doctors declared her then
to be out of all danger, and her recovery
assured. During the night the poor
child complained suddenly to the atten-
dant nurse of what she described a wild
cat running across her bed, and few
hours later died in paroxysms. This
case would appear to show how difficult
it is for the doctors themselves to de-
clare with any certainty as to the tilti-
mate recovery of their patients.

THEIR HERITAGE.
The rich mans son inherits lands.

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles of brick, and stone and gold,
And he inherits soft, white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old;
A heritage, it seems TO me,
One scarce would wish to hold i'll fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft, white hands could hardly earn
A living that would serve his turn;
A heritage, it seems TO me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son inherit?
Stout muscles and a sinewy heart,
A hardy frame, q harder spirit;
King of two hands. he does his part
In every useful toll and art;
A heritage. IL seems TO me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son inherit?
A patience learned of being poor,
Courage, if sorrow come to bear IL,
A fellow feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door;
a heritage, it seems to be,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
o rich mans son there is toll
That with all others level stands;
Large charity doth never soil
But only whitens soft. white hands
This Is The best crop from thy lands;

Worth being rich to hold III fee.
poor mans son, seorn not thy state;
There is worse WEAKNESS than thine
In merely being rich and great:
Toll only gives the soul to shine.
And makes rest fragrant and benign;

Worth being poor to hold in fee

The Interstate Commission
Finds that the Rates Are
Not Equalized.
Trouble Brewing Among the
Northwestern Roads in
Regard to Rates.
The Burlington's z IL Cent
Rate Likely to Cause
Serious Difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The follow
ing is syllabus of the opinion and
finding of the interstate commerce COM
mission upon the complaint of the
Boards of Trade union of Pennington,
Northfield, Faribault and Owatenna, in
the state of Minnesota, against the Chi
cago, Milwaukee d st. Paul Railway
company:
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company OWLS and operates an
extensive system of railroads. One of
its lines, used largely for the transpOr-
tation of wheat, runs from a point in
Dakota territory through Minneapolis
and st. Paul to Milwaukee and Chi
cago. Between Minneapolis and Mil
Waukee defendant has two rOuteS-One
by way of Red Wing and other towns,
called the River division, and being the
shorter route; the other by way of
Mortified, Faribault and other towns,
and called the Iowa & Minnesota diviS-
ion. The through rate on wheat from
the western terminus in Dakota to Mil
waukee and Chicago is 25 cents per 100
pounds, with the privilege of milling in
transit on both the above mentioned di-
visions. The rate on wheat from said
western territory to Minneapolis and
st. Paul, when consigned there, and
most, if not all, of which is carried by
other roads, is 1719 cents 100. The rate
on the River division of defendants
road and other competing roads from
Minneapolis to Milwaukee and Chicago
and from all
INTERMEDIATES AND CONNECTING
POINTS
on that route is ~ cents per 100 pounds.
The rate on wheat on the Iowa Il Min
nesota division from Minneapolis and
the intermediate towns on that division
is Is cents per 100 pounds, except from
Pennington. which has 1315 cents.
The rate on other commodities is the
same by both routes. The fact that the
rate of wheat on the Iowa & Minnesota
division is double the rate enjoyed by
neighbOring towns on the other division
works practically to their disadvantage
and prejudice. In the complaint OF
millers and others of the Iowa & Mime
sofa division of unjust discrimination
it is held that the complaint is well
founded; that the rate on wheat on that
division is relatively too high. While a
reasonable differential rate may be
allowed on that division on account of
greater distance and probable larger eX-
penSe of transportation and the greater
Stringency of the competitive forces on
the River division, the difference above
the present rate on the River division
should not exceed 2h cents per 100. 1t is
not sufficient compliance with the law
that rates are reasonable in themselves,
but they should be so relatively reason
able as to protect communities and bust
ness against unjust discrimination.
When the same carrier operates par
allel lines and for any cause accepts
low rates on one line it should furnish
sufficient corresponding advantages to
the patrons of the other line to prevent
undue prejudice and disadvantage, and
to preserve the substantial equality con-
templated by the statute.
